Plot
The film 'Differences' is a teen drama that compares the contrasting lifestyle of a popular rich male to a poor psychologically affected female. The whole film is about how the rich popular male falls in love with the poor unpopular female, he leaves his past 'celebrity' lifestyle for her, teaches her how to be a successful banker and makes her his assistant, together they rise through the social hierarchy and end up living their dream.
Reason for choice
An idea was raised by Youssof Mallah to create a story which revolves around two contasting characters, one male and the other female. We took this idea on board and ellaborated to come up with this concept of romance/action/drama. This was seen as interesting because it would be relative to a wide audience. Teenagers are faced with many issues of which they deal with intenally thus we chose to portrtay this in one character to show how vulnerablity causes many problems to arise. This is contrasted to the male character who lives a lifestyle of luxury and minimul stress. The comparison between the significantly differing lifestyle of two young characters portrays this pressing issue which needs to be addressed.
Storyline
Opening
The opening of the film will be looking at both the popular male's journey to college and the unpopular female's to work. We'll jump between the two to show that both are happening at the same time. During the males journey to college he'll be having flashbacks of how his lifestyle is, this will contain popular dance music, sounds of crowds and loads of shutter sounds to connote his celebrity status. The female will mainly be in contrast to the male her is journey is to work, where she hands out newspapers, she'll be hearing her mums voice screaming and shouting and a voice over reliving the moment of her mothers death followed by a gun shot. As the male character is proceeding to college he bumps into the female character whilst she is working, he is automatically overwhelmed by her beauty this will be how the two characters meet.
Climax
After the two characters meet they build a strong relationship and we see a weakening in the binary oppositions of the two characters as both of them become increasing similar in status as the story proceeds. We see a change in their journey to college, their appearance, attitude and emotions develop along with the fact that they are becoming successful individuals in the business world. Flash backs will become less frequent and less sigificant over time to express the fact that events that have happened in the past have become nothing but an image in the back of the head.
